I get a feeling this is one of the reasons why the world of programming is such a shitshow. There isn't a proper distinction between the mechanical engineer vs car mechanic equivalent. Everyone and their mom is a "software engineer", regardless of just tinkering / doing the car mechanic equivalent or being one of the maybe sub-1% of people out there that does anything similar to engineering (aka validating their designs with scientific knowledge and industry/legislation requirements). The discipline is in its infancy, so there's a hotpot of needs that are being mixed all together.
